Chapter 826: Burning the company camp, a hundred miles in one night

The intense light of the fire shone between the dark mountains.

A large group of war horses galloped and killed in the firelight, blood splattered.

I don't know how long it took, the two thousand reinforcements of the Tubo people in the distance outflanked from both sides, Li Xuan, Li Jinxing, and Yan Tao and others slowly pulled the horses.

The bloodstained eight-sided Han sword in Li Xuan's hand was lifted upward, and the four hundred crossbow machines behind him had been raised at the same time.

Before the Tibetans were outflanked, countless crossbow arrows had fallen like a rain of locusts.

The Tubo cavalry, which rushed at great speed, crashed directly into the rain of arrows.

In an instant, the Tibetans had fallen to the ground, and blood flowed for a long time.

At this moment, countless horses' hooves sounded behind him, dust and smoke flew, and countless cavalry seemed to be arriving.

Seeing this formation, the Tibetan people did not hesitate at all, and immediately turned around and left.

Yan Tao was still about to catch up, Li Xuan grabbed him, pointed to the side of the Tubo cavalry opposite, and shouted directly: "See, they are already secretly pulling their bows, if you really want to catch up, you are directly sending them to death." ”

Yan Tao saw the sharp arrows hidden on the side of the Tubo cavalry, and couldn't help but shudder, and quickly stopped everyone under him.

Li Xuan looked sideways at Li Duozuo, took a deep breath, and asked, "Brother Gai Chuan, where are we chasing here?" ”

"This is the east entrance of Longyang Gorge, rush through forty miles of Longyang Gorge, you will arrive at Longyang Lake, kill Longyang Lake, and it will not be far from Da Momen City."

Li Jinxing led the army from the rear, and countless cavalry rushed out from behind him, and killed the Tubo cavalry in the distance.

"Great Momen City." Li Xuan raised his eyes and looked at the mountains and gorges in the distance, the Yellow River flowed from the southwest, the river was turbulent, and the mountains and rivers were steep.

"Doesn't that mean that we ran for more than fifty miles overnight?" Li Xuan was a little surprised, looking back to the east, the darkness was dispelled, and the sun was rising.

Li Jinxing rode forward, side by side with Li Xuan, looking at the gray stains on Li Xuan's face, Li Jinxing couldn't help but sigh: "Who would have thought that the wind suddenly became stronger last night, the fire borrowed the wind, the wind and fire rotated, and the camp of the Tubo army was completely burned by a fire, which led to the victory of our army last night, and the prince made great contributions!" ”

Li Xuan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Everything depends on the command of the general, and the generals are single-minded, so that there is ......."

"It doesn't have to be this way!" Li Jinxing waved his hand and said: "Last night's incident, the water pawns under the command of the prince made the greatest contribution, forced the Tubo camp overnight, attacked the enemy camp with fire, caused chaos, originally thought that it was going to be a hard fight, who thought that the fire broke out suddenly, the fire burned the camp, the Tubo people were killed and wounded everywhere, and the army chased it, so it was easy to kill Longyang Gorge, and when it arrived in Da Momen City, it is now only one step away from the convergence of the Lanshan Dao army. ”

"But now, the Lanshan Dao army has already slaughtered out of the Nanshan Gorge, as long as a partial division is sent, then it can immediately attack with us and other things and trap the Great Momen City." Li Xuan turned to look northwest.

The tens of thousands of troops of Lanshan Dao have now been killed, as long as they go west to kill the thirsty wave river of a plain, they can kill the Chaka Salt Lake for two hundred miles, and arrive at the foot of Fuqi City.

At the speed of the Left Guards cavalry, it was only a day and a night.

There are now more than 100,000 Tuyuhun people in Fu Qi City, and it is inevitable that Qin Ling will lure the Tang Dynasty army to go deeper, and it is inevitable to abandon Fu Qi City.

But before that, there is still an uphill battle to be fought between the two sides.

If the Tang Dynasty couldn't even beat this battle, the Qinling would not give up the city at all, and there was no need to lure the enemy into the depths, they directly led the Tuyuhun people and directly killed the entire Lanshan Dao army.

……

"Although Da Momen City is known as a city, it is just an earthen city and a camp, but it is the last checkpoint that chokes my Tao River army out of the Yellow River waterway, and it is one thing for the main army to send people or not, but we must directly take Da Momen City, otherwise the grain and grass transfer will be threatened at all times." Li Jinxing's expression converged, and he turned to look in the southwest direction.

Everyone present became serious at the same time, they had never killed the Great Momen City, everything relied on the intelligence of the Ministry of War for many years.

In the intelligence of the Ministry of War, the Great Momen City is not worth mentioning, and it is easy to pass, but that was before the war.

As soon as the war began, for several months, the Tubo people worked day and night, not knowing what the Great Momen City had become.

Any negligence may lead to serious consequences that are uncontrollable.

"Not to mention, in the southwest of Da Momen City, on the west side of Longyang Gorge, there is also the army on the eastern wing of the entire Tubo, and our pressure is not easy." Li Jinxing said a word, and everyone's faces were already solemn and terrifying.

Now, the Lanshan Dao army will face the main army of the Qinling, and the Taohe Dao army will face the army on the eastern flank of the Qinling.

They could later take advantage of the terrain to transport grain and grass to the large military camp of Lanshan Dao, but the Tibetans could also send cavalry to plunder them.

The fight along the way is absolutely indispensable.

Whether it is the Lanshan Dao army or the Taohe Dao army, there is no qualification to be easy now.

Not to mention that even if they kill the city of Fu Qi, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in the city waiting to feed the Tuguhun people.

How to digest these Tuyuhun people who are not loyal to Datang, and make them a sharp weapon for Datang to fight against Tubo, instead of becoming a poisonous blade for Tuyuhun people to stab Datang from behind, this will be a great test of the wisdom of the main general of the army.

In addition, the opposite side of the Qin Ling will also be the strongest opponent they need to face.

It's the middle of July, and the things over there should have been done, but it will take some time for the news to reach the Qinghai Basin.

Not to mention that even if Qin Ling receives the news, he may not leave immediately.

Even if he leaves, he will kill a horse pistol.

One negligence can lead to the annihilation of tens of thousands of troops.

The pressure on the current crowd is not inferior to before, or even greater.

"Let's go, let's go to Da Momen City first, and see where the Tubo people have done what they do?" Li Jinxing hit the horses and immediately led the army towards the Great Momen City to kill.

High overhead, a goshawk flies above the clouds, but it always travels south of the Yellow River.

The further upstream the Yellow River goes, the more turbulent the river becomes, and the narrower the river becomes.

Thirty miles away, the entrance of Longyang Gorge and the east entrance of Longyang Lake, the distance between the two banks is less than 70 meters.

The city of Momen is said to be a city, but it is a special city that spans both sides of the Yellow River and has several suspension bridges connecting the two banks to ensure communication.

To the south of Da Momen City, on the south bank of the Yellow River, is Guinan County.

On the west bank of the Yellow River in Guinan County is Xinghai County.

Xinghai County is the location of the eastern flank of the Tubo army, where tens of thousands of Tubo troops gathered.

To the south of Guinan is Tongde County, and to the southeast of Tongde is Zeku.

The army of the Blacktooth is now stationed in Zeku.

The Tibetans must garrison a large number of soldiers in Tongde, otherwise once the Black Tooth Changzhi enters, they will immediately end their lair.

Li Jinxing in the north is also difficult to deal with, and the 10,000 troops of Taohe Road are now under the command of Li Jinxing, and they are rushing directly to Da Momen City.

……

Under the Great Mo Gate, there was a panic at the moment.

Countless soldiers were retreating into the city in a panic, and there were also many soldiers walking around the city.

From the northwest of the city, they bypassed the wide Longyang Lake and converged with the left army of Tibet.

The sudden fire last night made a mess of the Tibetan people, and it has not yet eased up.

Later, the Great Momen City was not ready for the defeat and loss of the Nile Estuary, and the big battle was already in sight.

"Li Duozuo, order you to attack the city immediately, go from the east gate, be quick, don't care about the routs on the road and go straight to the city gate." As soon as Li Jinxing saw the situation clearly, he immediately gave an order without hesitation.

"Whoa!" Li Duozuo immediately surrendered his hand, and in a blink of an eye, he had already rushed out, and two thousand cavalry followed closely behind him and killed him directly.

"Li Qing, you immediately lead the cavalry of your headquarters, go around the north gate, and enter the Great Momen City from the north gate." Li Jinxing had already given a new order in the blink of an eye.

Li Xuan stood on the hillside and saw everything clearly.

In today's Da Momen City, the east gate seems to be in a panic, but the main generals of the Tubo people and most of the guards are gathering towards the east gate.

The North Gate seems to be calm, but in fact, the military strength of the North Gate is silently decreasing.

Now what Li Jinxing wants is to use Li Duozuo to attract the attention of the Tubo people, and then let Li Qing come to break the city.

Of course, if Li Duozuo can break the city under huge pressure, it will also be good.

Four thousand cavalry, two thousand foot soldiers were thrown out in a blink of an eye, and Li Jinxing's men were now left with one thousand of their own right leading infantry, as well as Li Xuan's one thousand right guard cavalry and one thousand right guard sailors.

Li Xuan's gaze crossed the south gate of Da Momen City, and looked at the three suspension bridges at the south gate, where hundreds of soldiers were rushing over frantically, trying to reinforce the north bank.

Everyone is scrambling for time.

At this time, Li Xuan spoke: "Congratulations to the general, as soon as the north gate is broken, the city of Da Momen can be lowered." ”

"Oh!" Li Jinxing turned to look at Li Xuan and asked in surprise, "How did the prince see it?" ”

"The Tubo defenders of the east gate, although the number is not large, but there are many strong people, although the number of people at the north gate is large, but many people are weak and weak, and now the strong people at the north gate have reinforced the east gate, and the north gate has no one to guard, and the overall situation has been decided." Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and finished speaking directly.

Li Jinxing looked at Li Xuan in disbelief and said: "Others often say that the prince is clumsy in short-term planning and less than long-term, but now it seems that the rumors are not true!" ”

The other long histories nearby, the main book and the divisions who joined the army, all looked at Li Xuan and Li Jinxing in surprise.

They didn't know that someone had ever commented on Li Xuan like this, and they didn't expect Li Xuan's eyesight to be so amazing.

Li Xuan smiled faintly and said, "People always have to grow. ”

After a slight pause, Li Xuan arched his hand to Li Jinxing and said: "The general's current matter, the overall situation has been decided, your subordinates please immediately transfer grain and grass from the rear, and the army will immediately transfer the grain and grass into the Great Momen City, and then transport it into the main army of Lanshan through the Great Momen City." ”

Li Jinxing nodded and said: "In this way, the prince will bring seven hundred foot soldiers, three hundred cavalry, turn around and turn away from the grain and grass, and the improvement of this grain road must also be put on the agenda immediately." ”

Li Jinxing attaches great importance to the grain road, and how far the army and the right leading army can go depends on how far Li Xuan's logistics can go.

"Subordinates obey orders." Li Xuan gave up his hand, and then immediately turned around with Yan Tao.

……

At night, Li Xuan slowly came from the rear mountain road with the first batch of 500 stone grain and grass.

Outside the south gate of Da Momen City, there is now a flame soaring into the sky.

The Tubo people burned the suspension bridge, and the city of Da Momen completely fell into the possession of the Tang Dynasty.

In the camp of the city gate lord, Li Xuan had just given the order, and at this time, a rush of footsteps sounded.

A Qianniu Wei rushed in from the outside quickly, and said in a hurried tone: "General, Lord Wang, Lanshan Dao has a military order. ”

"Biography!"

Qian Niuwei unfolded the military order and said loudly: "Order, Li Xuan, King of Nanchang, immediately escort two thousand stones of grain and grass to the valley of the Chapcha River without delay!" ”

"The last general obeys!"
